Other features include a brick foundation and interior chimneys, a front entry with transom and sidelights, modern 1/1 windows, and a one-story rear wing and rear addition. Edith East Ralph was a daughter of Emmett and Mary East, who lived next door at 476 Chestnut. She married Ralph Wine, a postal carrier like his father-in-law. Wine also owned a grocery store that formerly stood at the corner of Arch and Market. Frank Pourman rented an apartment in the house in 1935.
